A Lakeshore driver is facing charges after being caught passed out in their vehicle.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a call shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday on County Road 22 near Pattillo Road in Lakeshore. They had been directed to check on a driver that appeared to have been asleep in their vehicle.
The driver was found passed out in a live lane of traffic. After speaking to the driver, the officer determined they had been drinking and showing signs of impairment. The driver was arrested and taken to an OPP detachment for further testing.
The 53-year-old is now charged with operating while impaired and failure to comply with a demand.
The charges have not been proven in court. The driver will have a chance to defend themselves in a Windsor court appearance on February 23.
